I'm In School!

Well since it's been a little while since I updated I'll do it now while the girls are sleeping and the house is nicely quiet!
A few new things are happening around here, I suppose.
For one, I have officially restarted attending college! Wow! And honestly, I'm LOVING IT!!
At first I was kinda scared because it'd been so many years since I've gone but now that I'm in it and going along it's been great!
I'm meeting new people, interacting with other adults (it's WEIRD and different! haha j/k!), and finding that I'm an old fart compared to so many that are there. Though, what's kinda cool and makes me feel good and kinda stupid at the same time is that everyone thinks I'm younger than I am. It's funny. Even with all this extra weight on me I still look younger than my age. I'm 31 and they think I'm in my early to mid twenties. I can't complain about that now can I? Well, okay I can because sometimes I'm treated like I'm stupid, but oh well! At least I'm not treated like an old fogie!! haha just kidding!

I'm taking intro to Theatre and intro to Criminal Justice and an Institute class called The Gospel & the Productive Life. So far they're all really great and fun classes. I sincerely believe that taking Institute throughout college is a MUST. It really helps in so many important ways with school and with my personal life and testimony. If you don't keep up with the little things that help nourish your Testimony YOU WILL LOSE IT. (no-brainer, frankly).

I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to get everything done for my classes with Tyler gone. I'm gonna have to find people who I trust who can babysit for the plays I have to go to and be in and the nights when I need to study and write papers. But we'll see. I'm sure I'll manage.

We sold a car Glenn was charitable enough to give to us. We didn't make much. We almost gave it away it was so cheap! lol
We're also trying to sell our truck. Only 97,000 miles, 1990, extended cab Ford Lariat, 8ft bed 3/4 ton, F250. It's an AWESOME truck. Doesn't give us any grief at all! The driver side window is busted out but it only needs the glass. Everything else works great. Oh the AC needs to be recharged, but that's it! It's a steal of a deal! We've had lots of people calling on it. One person saw it already and said it was too big for them but he loved it nonetheless. We're only asking 1500.00!! Okay enough trying to sell my truck here LOL. Anyway, we're going to sell it because we don't need it anymore since Tyler's going away to the Army and I need a cheaper car to drive all over the place that's reliable and safe for the girls and me. We'd like a Honda or Geo but CANNOT go over 800.00-1000.00. That's TOPS. We just don't have the money. We have to sell the truck in order to buy the car, ya know?

Okay, what else....

Oh, I have another new niece!! Ashlynn Paige Pearson. She's so adorable!!! She has TONZZZZ of thick, dark hair and light eyes. She looks a lot like Alicia. Maddison, her big sister, looks a lot like Erik. I'm so happy for them to have a new baby. New babies are so special! They bring such strong, special spirits with them and it changes the entire atmosphere of a place. Why people kill their babies before and after birth I will NEVER be able to even comprehend. Sorry, had to throw that in there :(.
I especially don't understand them because we haven't been able to have more babies. We've been trying for years now with no success. And now with Tyler being gone, well, the chances of becoming pregnant any time soon are quite low :(.

Anyway, sorry my blogs are so long. I know most people don't read them all, but oh well. They're missin' out! lol j/k!

Wish us luck with everything! We need it!! :)
